Abstract: This editorial examines how sensing practices are transforming through proliferating sensor technologies and altered sensing relations. Rather than engage with sensing as a project of the human mind or body as usually delineated within sensory classifications, this overview of sensors and sensing practices documents how sensing entities are emerging that are composed of shifting ensembles of multiple humans and more-than-humans, environments and technologies, politics and practices. By decoupling sensing from its exclusive human orientation, the editorial and collection demonstrate how reworked approaches to sensing make it possible to tune in to how involvement with environmental problems unfolds and endures. The collection asks how sensing practices might be crafted that attend to the distributed and accumulative inequalities of environmental problems and to speculate toward differential collectives for addressing environmental crisis and change.
文摘：本社论探讨了感知实践如何通过传感器技术的激增以及感知关系的改变而发生转型。本综述并未将感知视为通常感官分类中所界定的、仅属于人类思想或身体的项目，而是记录了感知实体的涌现过程——这些实体由人类与超人类、环境与技术、政治与实践之间不断变化的集合体所构成。通过将感知从排他性的人类导向中解耦，本社论及系列文章展示了重构的感知方法如何使人们能够关注并参与到环境问题的演变与持续过程中。该系列研究探讨了如何构建能够应对环境问题中分布性与累积性不平等的感知实践，并对解决环境危机与变革的差异化集体进行了推测。
